Honestly Peter Chang does certain things very well like their Mongolian chicken or beef or their fried rice. General Tso’s and Sesame Chicken could really be improved. For some reason they use white meat chicken which dries out quickly and the sauce they use to toss it is really bland. I don’t taste any garlic or ginger, just weird sweetness. I remember it being a lot better in the past. Now it’s like general tsos I would buy at a run down mall.
